Chapter 451 Special Dishes
"We all thought you had gone back, Lyrael!"
The group of people had now arrived at a special tavern introduced by the brown-bearded dwarf. They were now squeezed at a table in the corner, feeling very embarrassed. However, even though they were already huddled in the corner, people's eyes kept scanning their table. The reason was simple: the special feature of this special tavern was that it was run by Lizardmen.
The atmosphere was very awkward. Lucas, despite the pressure of everyone's gazes, took the lead in talking to Lariel who had returned to the team.
"Yes, I must go back with you!" Lariel nodded happily.
"Why?" The table was empty at the moment, and it was a good time to talk. Catherine raised her eyelids when she heard it, and on the other side -
"Hey, don't be angry. I'll make you some milk tea later. How about putting more pearls in it?" Lilith coaxed the gloomy-faced Leila, but the other party was unmoved and didn't want to pay any attention to her.
Lilith was a little embarrassed, so she turned her head away and pretended to be busy. When she met Ian's worried eyes, she quickly forced a smile.
"...Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing her like this, Ian sighed and looked at Lilith's right hand on the table.
On the originally white and smooth wrist, there is now a dark red lizard-like totem near the base of the wrist. When the owner of the hand shakes it slightly, it comes to life, as if it is alive, and is very... dazzling.
In the end, she swore a blood oath with the lizardman shaman.
"No, I don't feel anything!" Lilith quickly put her hands back under the table and couldn't help rubbing her knuckles with her hands. Although her mind was screaming wildly when she swore the blood oath and all kinds of infectious diseases transmitted through blood passed by her eyes like barrage, the shaman called her by name, so she still gritted her teeth and swore the oath.
"You're really crazy!" The red-haired little knight's air pressure was alarmingly low at this moment, and the resentment around him was almost condensed into a entity. Taking advantage of the noisy crowd in the tavern, she whispered viciously beside Lilith. Even though Her Highness Catherine had already talked to her about why this idiot valued friends so much, she still felt that Lilith's behavior was too reckless.
She looked up at Lariel, who was happily chatting with Catherine on the other side of the long table, and continued to attack Lilith, "What if he died inexplicably? Even if he didn't die, what if he got hurt while running around? Do you want to bear the curse from that shaman for no reason?!"
It's just an elf that suddenly appeared halfway!
"Well, he said that this oath has a time limit of two months. As long as he returns to the Elf Forest within two months, the little lizard will disappear on its own." Lilith rubbed the totem at the base of her thumb and carefully explained again. "Lariel said that he will definitely be able to return to the Elf Forest within two months."
Besides, she couldn't say that she was embarrassed because she misunderstood the other person's intentions. When people are embarrassed, they will do anything to divert their attention! !
"Can you tell me why it has to be within two months, Lariel?" The conversation on the other side of the long table continued. Catherine spoke in a gentle tone and smiled tenderly at the elf opposite her.
Lariel's heart skipped a beat at such a smile, and he said honestly, "I will definitely go back before school starts, just like you guys--"
He suddenly shut his mouth because he saw Catherine's expression change slightly, and immediately realized that something was wrong. He seemed to have said too much.
Katherine's eyebrows furrowed in disapproval, "The person who ran out with you is also a student? Lyrael, this is dangerous."
Although the boy's life was longer than hers and Lilith's combined, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lariel's mind was still as innocent as a fawn. Running into human territory that he had no idea of was even more reckless than Lilith.
Lariel nodded reluctantly, "Aha, yes, he, they are very interested in the human city, so just, just come with me. Of course, I will definitely bring them all back safely!"
His hands randomly scratched his pants. Lucas, who was sitting next to him with a glass of water, looked down and saw that a large area of Lyrael's pants had darkened due to the sweat from his hands. The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Catherine opposite him, raised his head to drink water to hide his expression, and said nothing.
There was a loud bang from the table, and everyone's cups shifted slightly. Leila slammed her sword on the table and looked at Lariel with wide eyes. "We will leave for Goletia soon. You go pick up your companions, and everyone can go home."
There was a hint of disappointment in Lariel's eyes, but he still nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Leila, I will definitely not drag Lilith down, and I will definitely protect myself and not let myself get hurt!"
This is also part of the oath.
His cooperative attitude made Leila feel like she had punched cotton, which was quite boring, but she didn't say anything else. She just glared at Lilith who was pretending to be a quail next to her.
"You are pretending to be a coward right now." Leila sneered, turned her head and said nothing more.
Lulu, on the other hand, was filled with sympathy. Seeing Lyrael's eyes, which looked like an abandoned little animal, and his face that looked like a creature created by God, the little girl couldn't bear it. She leaned forward on the table and whispered to her sisters, "Are we really going to send him away? Woohoo, Lyrael is so handsome——"
Why didn't I realize before that Lulu is also a face lover? Lilith didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still nodded, "He has to leave eventually, Lulu."
"He works so well with us, like we're natural teammates. I think he can adapt well to human society." Even Hannah couldn't help but speak out.
"He's adapted well because he met good people. If he had met people like Lucas, he would have been cheated out of his pants," said Jaina calmly.
"Hey, hey, I can hear you!" Lucas' dissatisfied voice came from the other side, but it was only met with uniform rolling eyes from several magicians.
"Alright, alright, it's already like this, and we can spend a few more days with Larelle. Now that things have come to this, let's eat first!" Lilith picked up the knife and fork excitedly, looking expectantly at the row of waiters who came over from the kitchen curtain. She asked the boss to bring up all the special dishes, so that they could enjoy Blackstone's last meal!
The stone plate seemed to have just been taken off the fire and was placed on the heat-insulating wooden plate, making a sizzling sound. Lilith looked forward to watching the lizardmen push plates of food to the table swiftly, then lifted the brass plates. The aroma filled her face, and she took a deep breath, then she saw -
Charcoal grilled insect pupae, charcoal grilled crickets, red stewed mealworms, deep fried giant crickets, and...
"Is that a cockroach?" Lilith pointed at the two familiar whiskers with trembling hands. This, this is the specialty that Brown Beard introduced? !
Leila couldn't care less about being angry with Lilith at this moment. She swallowed hard and came towards Lilith, "Sister, how about——"
"it is good!"
Lilith stood up immediately. The team's tacit understanding reached its peak at this moment. Everyone stood up in unison and walked out silently.
"Eh? You guys—" Lariel, who was still standing there, looked up in confusion while holding a cricket in his hand. Before he could finish his words, Lucas, who had returned, grabbed his collar and dragged him out.
